Schiavone became the first Italian woman to win a Grand Slam tournament. This was the first time since the 2004 tournament that all were maiden finalists.
This tournament is notable for the final appearance of former world No. 1 Justine Henin in the main draw following her comeback. Prior to her defeat to Stosur in the fourth round, Henin had a streak of 24 match wins in the tournament.
